Six Possums In A TrenchcoatDeeply disappointed in my community tonight. I watched several dozen people weaponize supposed concerns about watershed issues with a property to attempt to block the development of that land into a first-of-its-kind transitional housing project. There is no way that it is mere coincidence that the Venn diagram of the people with these flooding concerns and the people who oppose the development for other reasons is a circle.
Jonathan Mertzig@dbendit It’s fascinating how many people in Dane County suddenly become amateur hydrology experts the minute a development is “controversial” …that is if they’re not already objecting for amateur arborist reasons. 🫠
@mertzigzag One person invoked the Migratory Birds Act because red-winged black birds nest in the marsh adjacent to the property. What he neglected to mention or acknowledge is that the concept plan already has a setback for a nature conservancy based on the work done months ago with the DNR to account for this.
It's maddening.
